Description
Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Sweden / Finland, ca. 1 million years ago. A 9.8 gram piece of the Muonionalusta meteorite polished and set with a silver eyelet hook as a wearable pendant! The pendant was made by jewelers at Sky Gemstone and strung on a stainless steel wire necklace, but can easily be restrung on as one desired. The Muonionalusta meteorite impacted earth about a million years ago and the first known pieces were collected in 1906, and fragments have become highly sought-after as both raw specimens and jewelry. This meteorite is renowned for its distinctive Widmanstatten patterns, formed by the slow cooling of the iron and nickel alloys. Size of pendant: 0.68" Diameter (1.7 cm); necklace: 17.5" L (44.4 cm); silver quality: 86%; pendant weight: 9.8 grams
